  • Every lawyer will need interpersonal skills which can be drawn from previous experiences but if you see yourself starting your career as a lawyer at DACB, don't be afraid to socialise with the firm. It'll show you different sides of the business and help you understand what soft skills the firm fosters and encourages in its people.

    Sharfaa Shiraaz, Trainee Solicitor

  • During my training contract with DACB I have found myself becoming more confident with my future career as a lawyer everyday. I have built up a standing in the profession with this company via my networking skills. I have had the opportunity to discuss my cases with both newly qualified and senior lawyers, enhancing my negotiation and strategic skills.

    Sophia Lismore, Solicitor

  • At DACB, there is a strong emphasis on being commercially minded. It is equally as important and valuable therefore for a future lawyer to have worked outside of law in order to learn such skills and also to have a better understanding of the pressures and demands of our clients' businesses who are based in such industries.
